Thanks for the idea, but I wanted this account to be user only. users don't have write access to the windows or programs folder. It's a bit safer than browsing with IE on an admin account, although it probably doesn't make that much of a difference because there are so many holes in windows security that viruses or worms can acquire admin priviledges without a problem.
Anyway, I just don't want to be logged in as admin all day.
